ABSTRACT:
Auxiliary holder for releasably stowage of a tensionable measuring tape, comprises a back panel formed of leather or like material. The back panel has a front surface terminating in top, bottom and side edges. In one embodiment, a pair of slots are formed in the back panel after which a front panel is attached therebetween wherein a tight-fitting pocket is formed. The back panel also includes a rectangular notch or opening used to stow the cantilevered leg of the rear drop shaped clip of the measuring tape. Attachment of the holder to the user's body is via serpentining the user's belt through the pair of transversely spaced slots constructed in the back panel wherein the serpentining begins at one of the slots in which the non-buckle end of the belt passes through from the front surface of the back panel through the slot and thence along the rear surface of the back panel and out the other of the slots. In yet another embodiment, a pocket to accommodate a carpenter's pencil is achieved by changing the shape of the back panel to a L-shaped and then extending the width of the front panel. Result: a pair of side-by-side pockets can be formed--one; accommodate the carpenter's pencil--the other; receive the cantilevered leg of the tear drop shaped clip of the measuring tape.
